She previously examined the effects of force application on teeth using a rat organ culture model; work which led into a controlled clinical trial to examine the effects of orthodontic forces upon human pulp tissue in-vivo. The work was undertaken with funding obtained through 3 separate grants, and the analysis of the clinical trial material was performed in Switzerland, through a collaboration with ZMK, The University of Bern.
